Supporting the proposed Palmer/Sheldon roundabout

I made a site in support of the proposed Palmer/Sheldon roundabout: https://keepcantonmoving.com/

For some reason roundabouts can be a weirdly heated topic, but I believe the conversation about this project would benefit from more clear, fact-based information. Road construction is frustrating, but the bigger question is whether the final design makes the intersection safer for pedestrians and keeps traffic moving better long-term

Please take a look, share it with neighbors, and show up to the open house on August 13 if you can!

Training and race-day kit question from a noob

Howdy folks. I'm at the start of my triathlon journey and have decided to do a duathlon in the fall (run-bike-run format). Today I did my first brick training session and.... the training shorts sucked.

I got a pair of $50 "triathlon shorts" from Amazon, which have a thin chamois. While they are annoying to walk in... they were surprisingly not bad when running (didn't notice the padding after about 10min), but biking was a different story. The padding did basically nothing, so the bike seat was quite uncomfortable, and the waistband kept shifting and pressing on my abdomen. I'm used to multi-hour bike rides with cycling bibs, but the padding in those is way too thick for running.

So I'm here to ask what folks are using during brick sessions? Should I just suck it up with these shorts? Would more expensive shorts not have this problem? And do I need a freaking tri-suit for my duathlon? Feels like overkill, but not sure what other options there are for multi-sport comfort.
